Certified no pesticides, sustainable farming Fattoria La Valentina was established in 1990 as a sustainable-farming undertaking to promote the Abruzzo region’s extraordinary wine heritage.Abruzzo is 2/3 mountain and hills and 1/3 coastal terrain, a prime condition for grape growing. Their philosophy has always been around minimal intervention in the winemaking, adhering to the concept that high-quality D.O.C. wine “has the mark of the vine on its grapes”.
